Part of the Pasculano Collaborative for Contemporary Dance

Aszure Barton and Ambrose Akinmusire were inevitable collaborators—both deeply interested in the nature of energy: how it moves, how it lands, how it fills a space. In A a | a B : B E N D, two visionaries come together to create an intimate yet wildly provocative world where music and dance coexist onstage, embracing human friction, tension, and explosive beauty. Akinmusire performs live; his trumpet playfully provoking and shaping Barton’s unruly choreography in real time. Two artists push against each other to create a powerful cosmic refuge for the senses, oscillating between up-close and personal to vastly distanced and massive, full of puzzling beauty and raw, physical emotion.
